No one should feel like they need to apologize for being who they truly are. I'm proud of all of you. I think that you are some of the most honest, brave people in the world. I love you for being you. The world needs more people with that kind of insight and inner strength. I agree with the previous note...I celebrate your existence!! Everyone needs to learn to celebrate the differences. It makes life much better that way. 😁😍🫂

hey guys we can all agree its like, incredibly sad and fucked up when a trans man feels like he has to apologize for being a man, right. like even jokingly. it’s very concerning that people have created an environment where a trans person is expected to be apologetic about their identity, right.

Hey yall.

Update:

I still need help but I'm in a better spot now.

I can't say much more than that.

It's my intention to use what life I have left for these reasons:

1. To enjoy Life because most of my life has been traumatic.

2. To use my abilities for the betterment of myself and others.

3. To create an organization specifically to help disabled trans mascs and others. Bc there needs to be more.

4. To use all my resources to create a post scarcity society founded on mutual aid, self sustainability, and compassionate understanding/unconditional regard.

If you'd like to help me - a disabled trans man of color - make a better life..

Writing prompts centered on the theme "before we forget kindness.":

A Forgotten Act: A young adult discovers a dusty, handwritten letter in the attic. It's addressed to someone who had once shown them an act of kindness that changed their life. Determined to find this person, they set out on a journey before it's too late.

Last Day of Memory: In a dystopian society, people’s memories reset every 24 hours. Before the clock resets, a group of rebels tries to leave behind reminders of kindness, hoping that even without memories, the world can still become a better place.

A Jar of Memories: In a small town, an elderly woman has been secretly leaving jars filled with handwritten notes of kindness and encouragement around the community. When she passes away, the townspeople band together to uncover her story and continue her legacy.

Kindness Currency: In a futuristic world where emotions can be transferred like currency, kindness is on the verge of extinction. When an inventor discovers an old diary full of forgotten acts of kindness, they try to recreate a device that could revive empathy in a society that has long forgotten it.

The Kindness Contract: Every citizen is required to perform an act of kindness each month or face severe consequences. But when one person refuses to do so, they uncover a hidden truth about why kindness has become regulated and artificial.

The Last Kind Word: In a world where negative words are magically erased from existence, people begin to forget how to express cruelty. But when the last surviving "kind word" mysteriously disappears, a linguist must journey to recover it before the concept of kindness is forgotten entirely.

Echoes of Kindness: A time traveler inadvertently changes history, causing acts of kindness throughout time to be forgotten. Now they must retrace their steps, right the wrongs, and restore kindness to the timeline before humanity loses its way.

The Kindness Vault: Deep underground, a secret vault houses memories of all the random acts of kindness humanity has ever forgotten. Only one guardian knows how to access it, and when they receive a vision of the world on the brink of darkness, they must decide whether to release these memories to everyone.

The Last Kind Stranger: A world where people have lost faith in the kindness of strangers. One person takes it upon themselves to perform one act of kindness each day in hopes of reviving the world’s belief in human decency.

Before You Forget Me: A person suffering from a memory-erasing illness writes letters to their future self, reminding them of the kind people they’ve met along the way. When they wake up one day with no recollection, they find a stack of letters, urging them to keep believing in kindness.

10 Bad Habits to Let Go of for a Beautiful Life (Trust Me, You’ll Thank Yourself)

We all have those habits that hold us back — some sneakier than others. And while no one’s perfect, a little spring cleaning of your daily habits can unlock a happier, healthier life. Ready to drop the bad vibes and level up? Here are 10 bad habits to leave behind for good!

1. The Comparison Game — It’s Gotta Go

We’ve all done it. Scrolling, looking at someone’s perfect life, and feeling like we’re not enough. But honestly? Comparing yourself to others is a losing game. Focus on your own growth, and unfollow anything or anyone that makes you feel less-than. Your journey is yours alone, and it’s beautiful in its own way. Keep your eyes on your own lane!

2. Procrastinating Like It’s a Sport

We get it — that “I’ll do it tomorrow” energy feels good in the moment, but it’s also a trap. The more you put off tasks, the more they pile up and haunt you. Trust, the best feeling is getting stuff done now and freeing up your mind for the fun stuff later. Break it down, set a timer, and just start. You’ll feel like a boss when you’re done.

3. Saying Yes to Everything (Even When You Don’t Want To)

No is a full sentence, babe! If you’re constantly saying yes to things that don’t align with your goals or drain your energy, it’s time to stop. Overcommitting leads to burnout, and life’s too short for that. Start setting boundaries and prioritize what makes you feel good. Your time is precious, so treat it like gold.

4. Relying on Everyone Else’s Approval

We all love a little validation, but depending on it? That’s a recipe for insecurity. Your worth isn’t measured by someone else’s likes or approval. The only validation you really need is your own. So hype yourself up, celebrate your wins, and be proud of the progress you’re making, regardless of who’s watching.

5. Avoiding Your Finances Like It’s Scary

Finances don’t have to be terrifying! Ignoring them might feel easier in the moment, but getting a handle on your money situation is so empowering. Start small — track your spending, create a budget, and set a savings goal. The sooner you take control, the more stress-free your future will feel.

6. Holding Grudges Like They’re Trophies

Honestly, holding onto grudges only weighs you down. Letting go of past negativity isn’t about excusing people’s behavior — it’s about freeing yourself. Don’t let old situations control your peace. Forgiveness is for you, babe. The less baggage you carry, the lighter you’ll feel.

7. Talking Down to Yourself

Would you say those mean things to your best friend? Didn’t think so! So why do we let ourselves get away with it? Cut out the negative self-talk and replace it with something a little more kind and uplifting. You deserve better from yourself. You wouldn’t believe how much your mindset can change once you start being nice to yourself.

8. Expecting Everything to Be Perfect

Perfection is a myth, and chasing it will only leave you stressed and frustrated. Life happens in the in-between moments — the imperfect, messy, beautifully real ones. Give yourself some grace and celebrate progress, not perfection. A “good enough” life is often a perfect one in disguise.

9. Staying in Your Safe Bubble

Your comfort zone might feel cozy, but nothing grows there! Stepping outside of it might be scary, but it’s where all the magic happens. Whether it’s trying something new, starting a project, or meeting new people, discomfort leads to growth. Don’t let fear hold you back — take the leap!

10. Blaming Everything Else for What’s Not Going Right

It’s easy to point fingers and blame outside circumstances, but taking responsibility is where real change starts. You’ve got more control than you think! Instead of dwelling on what’s going wrong, focus on what you can change. You’ve got the power to turn things around — it’s all in your hands.

These bad habits? They’re not serving you, and it’s time to leave them in the past. Letting go of what’s holding you back will clear the way for bigger, better things. You’re already halfway there just by recognizing what needs to change. So let go, level up, and watch your life get a little more beautiful, one habit at a time.
